Austin C. Kirkie, went to GOD because Sovereign God's Plan was under HIS Dictate & Authority, not mine. Cooper went by his middle name, his Tuwin Kally named him & Austin was given by Deksi Butch~ my beautiful siblings!
Born to Kenneth Duane Seaboy & Katherine Estelle Kirkie on March 27, 1984 @ 0016. We became parents of our "big boy" from the start.   I remember all of it, L o v i n g l y.  Austin, the eldest of his siblings & Seaboy cousins was & is kind, loving & forgiving son of Jesus.  Eph 1:7*
The Bible says: "In Him we have redemption through His Blood, the Forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His Grace." This means that Believers are redeemed, or bought back, through Jesus Christ Sacrifice, which Leads to the Forgiveness of their sins.    We Believe This.
With family Austin went to schools in: Flagstaff, Arizona Chamberlain School & Crow Creek Tribal School Graduating in 2003.  Coop was very fortunate & happy to play State Basketball with both the Cubs & Chieftains! Colleges with opportunity to "play some ball," Grace University, Oak Hills College & Sisseton Wahpeton Community College.
Austin Coop met his "gorgeous" Wife Crystal in Minneapolis, Minnesota on January 18th,2009.
Crystal & Cooper got married as per Ordinance of God on August 7, 2015, they are truly soul mates, despite hardships along the way, including death.  Crystal gave birth to their beautiful treasures, three daughters (3 of them like Deksi Butch). He became a father & dad to Cryssa Marie, Cadence Nixtias & Cena Sheila.  Austin is an uncle to many – also coach of basketball to many & we hope you remember all he taught you about the game.  Remember the passion, the control your emotions with negativity &pray first then play to Honor GOD not always yourself this brings back sportsmanship & earns you respect while able to play ball.
Before leaving this earth, he got to play for Teron, to honor his beloved nephew/son relationship with Teron W. Sazue {2001-2025}   Uncle Coop now joins "the saints in glory" and we shall forever miss his earthly presence in our lives.  We are asking Creator God In Jesus, the Son to help us through this valley of shadow of death to the Healing Power of God.
"For I am Convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels or demons, neither present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the Love of GOD that is In Christ Jesus Our LORD."   Romans 8:38
Along 41 years of life's given journey, Cooper John many friends & brothers. Hunka mothers & fathers are near & dear to him.   You know who or whom you are & there is no need for a list. You are loved & smiled upon for "sharing life" with Austin 24 Kirkie.  May you recall all he said & taught, Live That Out with God's Help to "HONOR GOD, HE WILL HONOR YOU."

Austin's Dakota Name ITINA, "he lives there."
I believe it means the Holy Spirit lives there!
Brother's Received Dakota Names Together- Tag Team Partners Forever- Jesus Said.
Jordan, Wicipeza, "team player- get along," man Brother Loves You!
Sisters, be strong in Gods Love & Gods Ways. Believe in Jesus as your Salvation Story assurance your" name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life." Revelation 21:27
